Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

TO ADVANCE EDUCATION IN THE GREATER MEMPHIS AND MID-SOUTH AREA THROUGH THE OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF NONCOMMERCIAL, NON-SECTARIAN COMMUNITY RADIO STATION THAT PRESENTS EDUCATIONAL, CULTURAL, AND PUBLIC-INTEREST PROGRAMS UNDER A NONCOMMERCIAL LICENSE FROM THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION. SUCH PROGRAMMING INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO NEWS PROGRAMMING TO EDUCATE LISTENERS ON MATTERS OF LOCAL CONCERN; CULTURAL PROGRAMMING TO EDUCATE LISTENERS IN THE ARTS FROM ALL ETHNIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC SEGMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY; AND MUSIC PROGRAMMING TO EDUCATE LISTENERS ON THE HISTORY, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF MUSIC AND MEMPHIS'S PLACE IN THAT HISTORY.

  • THE ORGANIZATION OPERATED ITS FCC-LICENSED, NONCOMMERCIAL FM RADIO STATION, WYXR. THE STATION BROADCASTS A WIDE RANGE OF MUSICAL, CULTURAL, AND PUBLIC INTEREST PROGRAMMING. THIS INCLUDES TALK PROGRAMS FOCUSING ON HOW FAITH INFORMS OUR PERSPECTIVES AND UNITES PEOPLE FROM VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS, AS WELL AS DEEP MUSICAL DIVES INTO THE FORGOTTEN FIGURES OF MEMPHIS HIP-HOP, PUNK, BLUES, AND JAZZ HISTORY AND THEIR LASTING IMPACT ON THE AMERICAN MUSICAL LANDSCAPE. THE ORGANIZATION'S VOLUNTEER DJ ROSTER HAS EXPANDED TO OVER 50 INDIVIDUALS, EACH CONTRIBUTING TO 24/7 ON-AIR PROGRAMMING. THIS GROWTH HAS ALLOWED THE ORGANIZATION TO OFFER A DIVERSE RANGE OF SHOWS AND PERSPECTIVES, ENRICHING THE RADIO STATION'S CONTENT. IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THE ORGANIZATION'S STEREO SESSIONS HAVE BEEN A REGULAR FEATURE FOR FOUR YEARS NOW, PROVIDING IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF LESSER-KNOWN ARTISTS AND FOSTERING DIALOGUE WITH OUR AUDIENCE. ALONGSIDE THIS, THE ORGANIZATION HOSTED THE RAISED BY SOUND FESTIVAL, FEATURING A SOLD-OUT FUNDRAISING SHOW AND A FREE COMMUNITY CONCERT, FURTHERING THE COMMITMENT TO LOCAL MUSIC AND CULTURE. FUNDRAISING EFFORTS HAVE BEEN ROBUST, WITH SEVERAL PLEDGE DRIVES SURPASSING ORIGINAL GOALS THROUGH LISTENER DONATIONS, MEMBERSHIP PLEDGES, AND SPONSORSHIPS FROM LOCAL BUSINESSES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
